Brian Reynolds, PMHNP-BC
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner | Reynolds Psych NP, LLC
I'm often asked two questions:
1) "Are you accepting new clients?"
2)"Do you know any other Black or Brown mental health professionals in Racine?"
In a city as small as Racine, no single provider has the capacity to serve everyone who reaches out. But what if we worked together to make it easier for our community to find the support they deserve?
That's how the Racine Mental Health Collective was born.
Why we Started:
The Collective is rooted in authenticity, collaboration, and a shared commitment to meeting our community where they are. It is an opportunity for mental health professionals to build meaningful relationships, share resources, support one another, and become more visible and accessible to the communities many of us also call home.
If you've found your way to this page, welcome. Whether you're searching for a therapist, a psychiatric provider for medication management, a consultant, or simply someone who can help you figure out where to begin, we hope this Collective serves as another doorway to support. Now That You've Found Us, Take the Next Step.
Explore our providers. Read their stories. Reach out to someone whose services align with what you're looking for.
And wherever you are in your mental health journey, be well. We know the process isn't always easy, but connection can be a meaningful place to begin. We're here for our community, and we're here for one another.

To: Mental Health Professionals
The Collective is also a space for us to connect beyond our individual practices. Through professional relationships, shared resources, continuing education, and community initiatives, we have an opportunity to support one another while strengthening access to mental health care in Racine and surrounding communities.
There is room for collaboration, connection, and collective growth.
This is not an exhaustive list of Black and Brown mental health professionals. There are many wonderful providers doing meaningful work throughout our communities. You can also explore directories and platforms such as:
Psychology Today, Headway, and Grow Therapy
Our intention is simply to create another opportunity for connection, increase visibility, and make navigating mental health resources a little less overwhelming.
